I truly believe that it is so important to read to children. I loved to read and be read to as a child, and I still love reading (when I get the chance!) today. I'm always looking for great books for Maggie that are not only entertaining but also an educational experience. That's why I love the "The Adventures of Pookster and Bubs" series from author Rhonda Funk.

In "Pookster and the Unloose Tooth," Pookster learns the importance of waiting on God rather than doing things on her own. Gosh, as an adult, even I need to be reminded of that! "Pookster and the Practically Perfect Pickle" teaches children that sour words are hurtful and that it is important and pleasing to God to use sweet words.

I enjoyed reading these books! They are very entertaining. They are still a little wordy for my 10 month old, but would be great for children ages 4-10! The books are written in ways that will be very relatable to your children. Another plus is that they each come with a CD, so you can take the book along and listen in the car, or let your children listen at home when you are too busy cooking dinner or cleaning the house.

Each of these books end with a Bible verse that relates to the topic, perfect for memorization. I give these books 2 thumbs up and would definitely recommend that you add them to your child's library!
